Remove Signature in Automatically Generated Email using Visual Basic

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a database that is set up to generate an email in lotus notes using specific criteria from a query and filling the SendTo, Subject and Body fields of the email with informaiton from that query.

In lotus notes I have a signature that is automatically appended to every email I send (the emails are sent from my business account so I have to have the signature on my regular emails). I have searched this forum, google, and two other access and lotus notes sites to find a way to remove the signature from the email prior to populating the body with the information from the database.

I tried using RemoveItem but was unsuccesful. Does anyone know how to accomplish this, or have a suggestion of where else I should searching? I searched this forum using “remove signature visual basic” and “remove signature email” and similar strings in other forums and in google.

Subject: Remove Signature in Automatically Generated Email using Visual Basic

The signature will only appear if the memo is composed in the UI – the signature is imported into the editor, and is not (at that point) actually part of an RT item*.

You can avoid the signature problem altogether by creating the messages in the back end rather than composing them in the UI.

*There is almost an application/file relationship between the Rich Text Editor UI widget and the Rich Text Item that is stored in the Notes document. UI changes will not be reflected in the Item until the UI document is saved, and back-end changes to the RT Item will not be reflected in the UI until the document is closed and re-opened into the UI.
